This tutorial demonstrates how to create a character vector and convert it to a data frame and ultimately tokenize the text into individual words.
#Load Libraries
require(dplyr)# package required for data frame manipulation
require(tidytext)#package used to tokenize words
#creating character vector
text <- c("When things go wrong as they sometimes will",
"When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill",
"When the funds are low, and the debts are high",
"And you want to smile, but you have to sigh",
"When care is pressing you down a bit",
"Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.")
#converting vector into data frame
textdf <- dataframe(line = 1:6, text = text)
#change the poem into tokens/ a token is a word in this example
resultstoken<- textdf %>%
unnest_tokens(word, text)
